Privacy policy

Last updated: 25 October 2026

This page explains what personal data is processed when you visit nigerarts.com or contact us, why, and what your rights are. In short: the site asks you for no data, sets no cookies and has no advertising or visitor-tracking tools.

Data controller

Niger HABOU BENE ASBL, 37 Avenue du Vossegat, 1180 Uccle, Belgium — enterprise number 0889.294.119.
For any question about your data: contact@nigerarts.com.

When you visit the site

Technical logs. Like any web server, the one hosting the site records each request: IP address, page requested, date and time, browser type. These logs are used only to keep the site secure and working, and are deleted automatically after a few days. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a safe, available site.
Error reports. If a page fails because of an error, a technical report (the page, the browser type, the details of the error) is sent to the Sentry service, hosted in the European Union, so that we can fix it. The report contains neither your IP address, nor your name, nor your cookies, and is deleted automatically after 90 days at most. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in fixing faults.
No cookies. The public site sets no cookies. Your choice of light or dark theme is stored only in your browser and never sent to us. That is why no consent banner is shown.

When you contact us

By WhatsApp. The WhatsApp buttons open a conversation in the WhatsApp app, provided by WhatsApp Ireland Ltd. (Meta group), with a prefilled message you can change before sending. We then receive your profile name, your number and your messages. WhatsApp processes them under its own privacy policy.
By email. Messages sent to contact@nigerarts.com are forwarded by Cloudflare to our inbox.

We use this information only to answer your enquiry and, if you buy a piece, to arrange payment and delivery. Legal basis: steps prior to a contract and the performance of the sale. Conversations are kept as long as needed to follow up the enquiry; accounting records of a sale are kept for the period Belgian law requires (seven years). We do not sell or pass on your data to anyone and do not send you advertising.

Service providers

Railway Corporation (United States) — hosting of the site and its database.
Cloudflare, Inc. (United States) — domain name, storage and delivery of photos, email forwarding.
Functional Software, Inc., "Sentry" (United States; data hosted in the European Union) — error reports.

Where data is processed outside the European Union, the transfer relies on the safeguards provided by the GDPR, such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

You may at any time ask to access your data, have it corrected or erased, restrict its use, object to it or receive a copy. Write to contact@nigerarts.com; we answer within one month.

If you believe your data is not handled correctly, you can lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority, rue de la Presse 35, 1000 Brussels (dataprotectionauthority.be).

Changes

This policy may change, in particular when online ordering becomes available. The date of the last update is shown at the top of the page. If the language versions differ, the French one prevails.
